I feel like...

I feel like I am not being given any credit for what I've invested.
I feel like I'm being treated as someone unknown, who is not to be trusted.
I feel like my feelings and my struggles don't matter.
I feel like I am being judged on human standards.
I feel like I want my heart to be known.
I feel like we have missed Jesus and people while speeding the train along at 90 mph.
I feel like there have been many words and not one clear vision.
I feel like writing a vision has become the goal.
I feel like I want Jesus' vision.
I feel like we should be pointing one another toward holiness.
I feel like we avoid moving towards discipleship.
I feel like we could be sitting at the feet of Jesus and asking Him which way to go.

I feel like we started with no purpose so it's not surprising
that we ended with no outcome.
I feel continually frustrated with the withholding of information and care.
I feel stagnated in a community not marked by personal relationship.
I feel tired of changing directions again.
I feel stuck in between two hard decisions.
I feel hurt that no one wants to come and stand in my shoes.
I feel alone in the voicing of my needs.
I feel trapped by a commitment made without clarity.
I feel like I am misunderstood.
I feel I am lost in a forest.
I feel disappointed in the method.

I feel like it's more important to check the box "I finished well" than to be myself.
I feel like that's just not in God's plan.
I feel like God is asking me to hold my expectations out and release them.
I feel like He is calling me out of the darkness.
I feel like He is naming me.
I feel like my worth is not dependent on my actions.
I feel like I am seeing clearly.
I feel like I know Him even better than I did.
I feel like His light contrasts my black silhouette of faith.
I feel like His firm hand will light the way.
I feel like He will direct my steps.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

For you now you see as through a glass darkly, but then shall you see face to face. Now you know in part, but then shall you know even as you are known.
